Major League Baseball has announced the rosters for the 2013 Futures Game, and a pair of Red Sox farmhands have been named. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts is on the World Team for the second straight season, while right-hander Anthony Ranaudo (pictured) has made the US Team. Additionally, third baseman Garin Cecchini has been chosen as one of five finalists in a fan vote for the last spot on the US Team roster. The Futures Game will take place at 2:00 pm on Sunday, July 14, as part of Major League Baseball's All-Star celebration at Citi Field in New York.

Bogaerts was promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket two weeks ago after an impressive performance at Double-A Portland. Across the two levels, the 20-year-old has compiled a .296/.389/.498 slash line with 10 home runs and a career-high six stolen bases. It is the second appearance in the Futures Game for Bogaerts, who went 1 for 4 with a base hit off Mariners prospect Danny Hultzen as the starting designated hitter for the World Team.

Ranaudo, 23, has had a strong bounce back season with Portland after struggling with injuries and inconsistency in 2012. The 2010 first-round draft pick out of LSU is 7-2 with a 2.28 ERA, and 0.975 WHIP. In 79 innings, Ranaudo has compiled 86 strikeouts, good for second in the Eastern League.

Cecchini was promoted to Portland from High A Salem following that league's All-Star Game on June 18. At the time of his promotion, the third baseman was leading the Carolina League in batting average (.350), on-base percentage (.469), and bases on balls (43). Since joining the Sea Dogs, Cecchini has barely missed a beat, going 5 for 16 with three walks in his first four games.
